Outside the city of Wanzhou.

Tang Ning and the old beggar were walking on the mountain road, the latter had a dog's tail grass in his mouth, his hands pillowed behind his head, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "That girl is very beautiful and has a good figure, it is too late to go back now......

The old beggar waited for him to be uncomfortable when he was away, and talked nonsense when he was there, but Tangning ignored him, and treated him as if he was followed by a dog.

Before leaving Wanzhou, he asked Ruan County Lieutenant to take care of Zhao Yun'er, and at the same time left him a thousand taels of silver to help her build a shop, which could ensure that she had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

In addition, he also left a letter to Liu Zheng, and after the county lieutenant Ruan was transferred, Liu Zheng could also keep her safe.

That's all Tang Ning could do for her.

The two of them went out of the gate of Wanzhou City, crossed the river from the ferry, and then only needed half a day to enter Qiandi.

Out of Wanzhou, Tang Ning will no longer have any reinforcements around him, and everything will depend on himself and the old beggar.

Although he can cope with most of the situation by himself, he still has to rely on the old beggar in times of danger.

So Downing couldn't think of him as a dog with him.

He took the initiative to slow down his pace and asked casually, "Ten Thousand Gu Sect Ten Elders, is there any one surnamed Wu?" ”

"I don't know." The old beggar spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth and said, "What is the name of Wanzhou Thorn History, and what is the name of the head of the Liang family, do you know what?" ”

“……”

Tang Ning was speechless when he asked, but thinking about it, the old beggar had the idea of grabbing the secret book back then, so how could he care about what the elder of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect called.

However, it is a bit too much to take off other people's clothes and tie them to a tree without even asking their names......

The old beggar took a gourd from his back, poured a sip of wine, and continued: "Moreover, the ten elders of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect are not the same all the time, in the past few decades, I am afraid that their ten elders have also changed several times, how does the old man know if there is a surname Wu in it?" ”

Hearing the old beggar say this, maybe the person behind the Liang family is not the current elder of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, but his Gu art attainments are at least comparable to Bai Jin Gongsun Ying, and he must know many secrets about the Ten Thousand Gu Sect that Tang Ning doesn't know.

Tang Ning thought of something again, looked at the old beggar, and asked, "I heard that their previous generation of saints was in retreat because they lost to you, so they went into retreat and penance, but died because they went mad, don't you feel a little guilty about this?" ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable...... The old beggar sighed and said: "The Buddha has clouds, life and death, wealth and nobility are in the sky, that is her life has such a catastrophe, how can she blame the old man?" ”

If the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable knew that the old beggar was using his name to talk nonsense, maybe a divine thunder would have rained him down and killed him.

Tang Ning rested against a tree on the side of the road, took a sip of water by the way, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and muttered, "Little they should go to Chu State now, right?" ”

This time they left with their families, Xiaoxiao and Lao Zheng followed all the way, counting the days, it should be almost time now.

The old beggar took another sip of wine, glanced at him, smacked his lips, and said, "Unexpectedly, you are still a principled person." ”

Tang Ning glanced at him and asked, "Did you find out on the first day?" ”

The old beggar wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Actually, there is one thing that the old man has always been very curious about. ”

He looked at Tang Ning and asked, "You were obviously dead that day, how did you come back to life?" ”

"How can the dead be raised?" Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Maybe you are wrong. ”

"The old man can't be mistaken." The old beggar looked at him and said, "Your heart has not skipped for two hours." ”

Tang Ning thought for a while and said: "Medically speaking, it is completely possible, under some external stimulus, a person will fall into a state of suspended animation, although there is no heartbeat and pulse, he is still alive." ”

The old beggar looked at him for a long time before he shook his head and said, "Maybe the old man is really wrong......

The old beggar's curiosity was the biggest secret that Tang Ning carried, and he didn't intend to tell anyone about this secret, and of course, no one would believe it.

"Actually, in those two hours, I had a dream." Tang Ning looked at the old beggar and said, "In the dream, I am another person, living a different life, and I almost sank in that dream until Xiao woke me up......"

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If it weren't for her handful of water, I think I would have died by then." ”

The old beggar glanced at him and said, "No wonder you are so good to the old man's precious apprentice, and you spoil her more than the old man......"

"She's my savior and my sister." Tang Ning said as a matter of course: "I don't spoil her, who do I spoil?" ”

The old beggar looked at him and said, "I hope you will always remember this." ”

Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "I don't need you to remind me, I will always spoil her." ”

The old beggar shook his head and said, "I'm talking about the previous sentence. ”

……

Tang Shui's matter was just an accident, the old beggar's worries were purely superfluous, Xiaoxiao was still a child in Tang Ning's heart, although in fact she was no longer a child......

Tang Ning and the old beggar entered the Qiandi with only three days' worth of food, because according to the plan, after three days, they would be close to a certain branch of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect's three elder lineages.

But what they didn't expect was that there were some slight deviations between the actual topography of Qiandi and the map drawing, which caused them to reach their destination until the morning of the fourth day, and their food had already been eaten yesterday.

Fortunately, it is in the mountains, and even if they don't bring any food or water, they can get it from their surroundings.

Tang Ning came to a certain stream and said to the old beggar, "I'll catch two fish, you see if there are any mushrooms around, pick some back, and pick up some firewood......

Qiandi was an untapped treasure, and the grass carp in this creek were so fat that Downing inserted two of them with a harpoon, and after cutting the belly and removing the scales, he built a grill by the stream.

When he had set up the grill, the old beggar returned, carrying two pheasants and a lingzhi.

This Lingzhi looks like it is a few years old, even in this kind of deep mountains, it is not common, for those of them who practice martial arts, it is a great supplement, and the luck of the old beggar is not bad.

Tang Ning belonged to a person who was extremely delicate in terms of eating, before entering the mountain, he considered the possibility of having a picnic in the mountain, and the game without seasoning tasted tasteless, so he deliberately packed a small bag and brought enough seasoning.

The old beggar pulled the fish with bamboo chopsticks, ate a bite of the fish, poured a sip of wine, and sighed: "It's a pity that you don't want to be a cook......

Tang Ning stirred the firewood twice, smeared the lingzhi with seasoning, put it on the fire to roast, and took a grilled fish and ate it.

As soon as I took a few bites, there was a sudden movement in the dense forest behind me.

A figure strode out of the forest, and when he saw the two people by the stream, he was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed the Lingzhi on the fire, and his face showed annoyance, and he said sharply: "Bold thief, dare to steal Zhi!" ”

The girl wearing a unique national costume was restrained by the old beggar as soon as she raised the short knife in her hand.

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "Is this your Lingzhi?" ”

The girl was dressed strangely, but she could speak fluent Chinese, pointed at Tang Ning, and said angrily: "You, you actually burned my Lingzhi ......"

The old beggar sharpened a piece of Ganoderma lucidum with a dagger and handed it to her, saying, "Taste it? ”

The girl turned her head away and said angrily, "I won't eat it!" ”

……

After a while, Tang Ning threw away the fish bones, looked at the girl squatting by the fire, and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

The girl stuffed the last piece of roasted lingzhi into her mouth indiscriminately, nodded violently, and said, "It's delicious!" ”
